Chapter 246: The Difficulty of the Assault is High

After the Sichuan Army 144th Division engaged with the Imperial Army 6th Division's Supply Troops.

The Sichuan Army 145th Division and 146th Division, responsible for intercepting reinforcements.

Are now also prepared at their respective interception points.

Tens of thousands of Sichuan Army soldiers are waiting anxiously.

This is the first battle after leaving Chuan!

Everyone is feeling a bit nervous inside, afraid of not fighting well!

At the same time, Yu Hua has also arranged for reserve troops to stand by on the outskirts of Jinshan County.

The Sichuan Army 145th Division's Light and Heavy Machine Guns, as well as Rifles, began firing at the Japanese.

Every vehicle is also loaded with soldiers.

The 6th Division's Chief of Staff, Shimono Ikko, stepped forward: "Our army has been suddenly attacked."

The machine gunners of the two divisions are also firing a burst and then changing positions!

It is not easy for the Japanese Mortars and Grenade Launchers to lock onto targets.

"Whew, whew, whew!! —"

"Baka yaro!"

"Hai!" Tani Hisao's Adjutant nodded and bowed.

"The combat effectiveness of these Japanese is indeed very strong."

Hearing Kunisaki Noboru say this, Tani Hisao widened his eyes: "Nani?!"

Mortar shells tore through the sky, specifically targeting the Sichuan Army's Light and Heavy Machine Gun Firepower Points.

"The battle will not end for a while."

The Japanese have also gradually consolidated their front lines and are counterattacking the Sichuan Army.

Engaging in a firefight with the Sichuan Army on the hills!!

Regarding Liu Zhaoli's words, Rao Guohua felt deeply the same, "Hmm..."

145th Division Commander Rao Guohua lowered the Telescope in his hand inside the command post.

"These Japanese can indeed be considered the Far East First Army."

"Imperial Warriors, the difficulty of the assault is very high."

Rao Guohua and Liu Zhaoli are preparing to split the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment into several segments.

This battle has now entered a white-hot stage.

Inside the 145th Division's command post!!

Rao Guohua lowered the Telescope in his hand and called Liu Zhaoli.

They have always been chasing the Republic of China Army!

They have never encountered such fierce resistance!

"Some artillery pieces were damaged!"

Liu Zhaoli panted and said: "Is the situation alright!"

Following a burst of explosions, there was then the continuous sound of gunfire and artillery.

They attacked the Sichuan Army on the hillside in sequence, and the Kunisaki Detachment did the same.

"Moreover, the Sichuan Army has also set up a Minefield on the front-line positions."

"Let the sniper Firepower Points suppress the Imperial Grenade Launchers, machine gunners, and commanders."

However, now with Tani Hisao's order issued.

The Firepower Points of the two divisions' positions are also arranged in tiers.

"The difficulty of the front-line troops' attack has suddenly increased quite a bit!"

"I still underestimated the Japanese!"

This battle!

Has indeed given Rao Guohua and Liu Zhaoli a brand-new perspective on the Japanese's combat effectiveness.

"This unit, which is called a beggar-like troop, has actually specifically set up sniper teams."

"It doesn't look like the Republic of China Army we encountered in the Pingjin Region before at all."

Turning his head to look at the Chief of Staff beside him, he shouted, "Fire the Signal Flare."

"Looking at it this way, the commander of this Sichuan Army unit is not simple at all."

He is being covered by his own guards, hiding behind a large rock.

Some vehicles rushed off the road and overturned into the mountain gully.

Seeing Tani Hisao flying into a rage, the Japanese in the 6th Division command post all lowered their heads.

A large number of infantry followed closely behind the convoy, all running forward.

Walking at the very front are the Japanese cavalry units and vehicles.

The Japanese soldiers seizing the terrain also lay on the hillside, raising the Type 38 Rifle in their hands.

Now that they have arrived at the Seventh War Zone.

At the same time, the 146th Division is the same.

"In a very short time!"

"Lao Liu, how is the situation on your end?"

"Not only are there hidden bunkers, but there are also pillboxes and so on!"

Many Japanese soldiers in the cavalry unit were blown into the sky by Explosives.

"The commander of the Sichuan Army in front of us is a veteran of defensive warfare!"

Two red signal flares rose into the sky, and the combat engineers who had buried the landmines and explosives pressed the detonators.

"Such a thing is actually happening?!"

The Sichuan Army units launched a sudden attack.

"Da-da-da!! —"

The mortars of the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment provided cover for the infantry and shelled the Sichuan Army positions.

For a time, the deafening sound of explosions echoed across the highway.

Liu Zhaoli and Rao Guohua also followed Yu Hua's requirements.

Machine guns spat out a series of firelight, sweeping across the Japanese devils on the highway.

Plus, the combat scene was chaotic!

The devils' artillerymen were now also looking for the horses carrying the artillery!

"Their firepower points are arranged in echelons and are interlocked!"

These three cannons, being too heavy, had not yet been unloaded from the horses.

Two "Swish! Swish!" sounds!

"What on earth is going on with the frontline troops?!"

Tani Hisao shouted and yelled.

Then he began to have the Communications Soldier contact each Infantry Regiment!

The devil soldiers of the 6th Division, under the command of the Regiment Commander.

Also heard the roar of automobiles on the highway.

At this moment, Tani Hisao!

"Adjutant, immediately order the troops to seize favorable terrain for me and annihilate this enemy force."

"My unit can still hold on!"

"Chief of Staff Shimono Ikko's words make a lot of sense."

This kind of fighting style!

Tani Hisao's 6th Division, as well as Kunisaki Noboru's 9th Brigade, were encountering it for the first time!

After all, in the previous battles in the Pingjin Region, the 6th Division and the 9th Brigade.

15 minutes later, the Sichuan Army soldiers of the 145th Division and the 146th Division.

The sound of motors and horse hooves was especially loud in the silent night sky.

Kunisaki Noboru stood out at this moment: "Tani Hisao-kun!"

"Those responsible for defense, defend; those for offense, attack."

"It has been twenty minutes!"

"Plus, the Sichuan Army occupies favorable terrain, and their Circular Fortification is constructed with unique characteristics."

"Why haven't you torn through the Sichuan Army's first line of defense yet!"

Some horses were frightened in the previous chaos and simply took off running.

At this time!

The devil soldiers on both sides of the highway used automobiles to put up a stubborn resistance.

Ready to provide support at any time!

"The devil's commander has stabilized the troops' footing."

The Sichuan Army's firepower strike cut the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment off at the waist!

Then, once again, they refined them and split them into several segments.

Tani Hisao in the rear!

Seeing his own 6th Division failing to tear through the Sichuan Army's line of defense at this moment!

His complexion turned livid: "Baka!"

Now it was also the devils' mortars showing their power!

As for the type Infantry Gun, the 41-type Mountain Gun, and the Type 94 Mountain Gun.

At the very beginning, they made the little devils of the 6th Division lose their footing.

"The Imperial Army's Grenade Launcher has also been suppressed by the Sichuan Army's Sniper."

His face was ferocious, waving the Command Sword in his hand.

The Crossfire of two divisions smashed down toward the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment!

Because the Sichuan Army occupied favorable terrain!

The formation the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment displayed on the highway was a long, single-file snake formation.

Fortunately!

"Baka yaro!"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander!"

The 6th Division suffered a sudden strike, and the little devils' motorcade began to fall into chaos.

The Sichuan Army troops actually used Snipers to suppress the Imperial Army's Firepower Point!

Heavy Machine Gun positions are easily destroyed by the devils' mortars and Grenade Launchers, but the Light Machine Gun positions.

Facing the fierce resistance of the Sichuan Army, this made many little devils feel somewhat surprised.

The weak Republic of China Army actually had a day when they could stand tall.
